Power Of The Kingdom of God

Key Scripture:  " Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and He gave them this reply:  "The kingdom of God never comes by watching for it.  Men cannot say, "Look, here it is", or "there it is", for the kingdom of God is inside you."  Luke 17:21, J.B. Phillips.

Power Point:

     Most of us don't think about salvation every day, but Jesus does.  When He died for our salvation, it meant a lifestyle of Salvation, not just an eventual door into heaven. He never intended for us to struggle through our lives day to day and then get to the pearly gates, and say, "Whew! I'm glad that's over!"

     Jesus meant for His death to bring His life into our lives on a daily basis.  His plan was to bring us God's peace-a place inside us where nothing is missing, and nothing is broken. His purpose was to bring God so near that we never have to take a breath without Him.

If you remember the story of Ezekiel and the dry bones, you might think about it as a story of our lives before and after Jesus.  Before, we were mere skeletons; no meat on our flesh, no strength in our muscles and no breath in our lungs. Then Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to breathe His breath into us and set us firmly on our feet to march as a part of God's army.

     When you think about it, God won't need an army in heaven, will He? He does need one here though and He's put you where you are right now to march with Him.  He needs your life to be living proof to a very dark and dying world that He is alive and well, and as close as your next breath.

     Beloved, the Kingdom of God is WITH us and WITHIN us.  You can be seated in heavenly places NOW!  If you've been sitting around waiting for heaven to show up, guess what! You've been wasting your time. It's here.  It's in you now.  And it's forever

     Could today be the day when you reach deep down into that well of living water inside you and draw it up and out? We were never meant to be a reservoir, you know. We were always meant to flow like a river and to create new channels for God to flow with us.

     It's your choice Beloved.  You can neutralize the glorious “POW” Power within you  and ignore it or you can choose to explore it.  Heaven is REAL.  Heaven is real right now.  All that God has in His kingdom is in you, if His Spirit is there.  There's no need ahead of you that doesn't have the capacity and power to be met. You can experience the glory of heaven in you and bring it to earth around you. That was the whole point of Jesus coming wasn’t it? He came to bring us Peace on earth, and God's glorious will being carried out through His children.

     Will He come again in GREATER Glory?  Absolutely.  Will heaven touch earth for the final time and become visible to everyone?  Absolutely.

    But for now, we walk by faith don't we?  We see the unseen in our spirits and call it out by faith so that our eyes see what our hearts perceive.

Know this Beloved:

Everything you need from heaven is in you right now.

Everything you could possibly need for tomorrow is in you right now.

You were meant to march in God's army and to release the breath of His life wherever you are right now.

You were always meant to bring heaven to earth because wherever you go, His kingdom is in you.

When? Right now.

Power Thought:

God is present with us from here through eternity. Quit looking around, look within.
